This should be required reading for anyone who is about to post an image macro to the Internet. I mean, it wouldn't change anything, but it would at least make people stop and think for a second before they went ahead and cheezburgered. And maybe in that second they would lose their wifi connection or get distracted or something. It's worth a shot.
This is true. People who waste time painstakingly crafting image macros are kind of sad.
Commenting, on the other hand, improves wear-with-all and girth!
Agreed. They're much better when they only take 15 seconds to generate.
"Family Man"
"Response"
"This is true. People who waste time writing painstakingly long treatises on creativity that they post to their blogs are kind of sad."
"Marco," dude. It's pronounced "marco."
"Polo!"
I am assuming this is not applicable to "bear" related macros, correct?
FTW! Yes! This part of the internet is *so* right about the timewasting lameness of that part of the internet. Well spotted, Herr Balk!
It can have its place, but memes are like any other joke. They get played out, especially on the internet where it's so easy to proliferate the joke. It ceases to have value. Something something Weimar Republic.
I'M SORRY, BUT I DON'T UNDERSTAND YOUR PRESENTATION. IS IT A BIRD, OR JUST A FEATHER ON A STRING? http://www.quickmeme.com/meme/DBH/
All of you people who agreed with this can feel free to never ask an Art Director to make your shitty party fliers/funny picture ideas/book covers/PowerPoint presentations for you ever again!
:D
Aw.
POWNER-POPERATED.
You guys.
Um, how are we 15 comments deep without a single request for a photo of Cat wearing a tie? YOU'RE SLIPPING, PEOPLE.
Spent so long on this, maybe I should just kill myself.
I cannot wait for Nic to huffily post a marco of Yardy in full Cato Institute casual by way of response.
That reminds me, I always confust libertarians and libertines. Which ones are cock suckers?
@Arty: Corporate Cat will see you in his office now.
Agreed in general, but you can have Hola Querida when you pry it from my cold, dead, Xabi-loving fingers.
If you are not familiar, here is a friday present: http://hola-querida.tumblr.com/
I could never possibly thank you enough for this.
If I wanted to be told what to do I'd get married.
Get Merchant & Ivory to write it and Kenneth Branagh to star and you'll all just shut the fuck up.
Wouldn't that be "image MEME," not "image MACRO?" Or am I not up on the jargon?
Means of production, not transmission.
I would read that if I weren't so busy playing on your laaaaaaawwwwwnnn!!
One time the guy who used to sit in the cubicle next to me set the word "meme" out loud and I almost pissed myself.
The two incidents were unrelated. I was just really fucking hammered at work.
